You are not going to like this answer, elevator or any kind of moving platform kind of animation has to done using ZE animations. This is for the very reason you stated collision primitives do not play nice on moving props and you will fall though. There is an old topic, may even be in the Modding FAQ on how someone made an evelator that you could "call" as opposed to on that is just constantly going up and down (as I have done on a test map)
This means you have to animated the elevator doors in ZE as well if there are any.

well i was planning on using this elevator in a battlefront 1 map which does not support zeroeditor animations. is there any other way?
